Yes, that mean, man, 51 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.479 I haven't put out a record since twenty twelve, and 52 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:35.039 so you know, the reason to make a record is because, hey, 53 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.360 I still love the hot I still love what I do, 54 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:41.280 I still love music, and I feel like, you know, 55 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.240 I didn't want to put music out until I had 56 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.759 something to say now, being that this is, you know, 57 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.719 something that I haven't done in you know, like twelve years. 58 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.879 I wanted to make sure that when I had something 59 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.560 to say, that it had a purpose, that I could 60 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.680 feel good and stand on what I was saying. So 61 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.039 Maker is about a transfer of information. It is about 62 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:08.840 the things, the habits, the self discipline, the character, the 63 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.719 way I carry myself, you know, the way I've you know, 64 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.080 made some mistakes, got back up. You know, all of 65 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.879 that is embodied in the way I creatively made this music. 66 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.560 And now this is about giving it to the people 67 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.759 who want to hear it and listen and you could 68 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.120 do with it, which you will absolutely. Yeah, there's a 69 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.360 lot of lessons right that we have learned throughout life, 70 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.919 you all of us in here, right, but in the 71 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.520 music it shows and you can tell there's things that 72 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.560 you talk about that happened in the past, things that 73 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.520 you realize now, yo, get a job in future, kids. Yeah, 74 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.520 I mean, just boiling it, boiling it down to the essentials. 75 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.800 I think there's a lot of there's a lot of 76 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.719 fluff music out, there's a lot of mindless music out 77 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.960 and and there has to be a balance, you know, 78 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.879 there has to be diversity in it. And I didn't 79 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.199 want to chase the sound. I didn't want to sound 80 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.439 like what out and current. I just need to do 81 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.120 what I do really well. And and that's kind of 82 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.159 the direction of where this album creatively came from. But 83 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.840 you know, to be honest, man, I feel like this 84 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.719 is the most cohesive project I put together. This is 85 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:18.120 the most like well rounded project ever put together. The 86 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.439 sound is immaculate. Yeah, yeah, I mean the mixes, you know, 87 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.839 shout out to Steve b. Shout out to Focus, who 88 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.959 helped me produce the whole entire thing.

Yo. 98 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.519 So we have a version of the album, right, but 99 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.480 it's missing a few songs, yes, right, which is crazy 100 00:04:54.519 --> 00:05:00.639 because now I got to hear him. Tell you like, like, 101 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.680 I'm so glad you got a chance to hear it, 102 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.920 because yeah, yeah, exactly. It feels like I'm excited to 103 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.079 put this record out a because I don't think it's 104 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.000 gonna cut. I think it's gonna catch a lot of 105 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.120 people off guard. I think it's gonna you're not prepared 106 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.199 to hear me like this, you know what I'm saying, 107 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:22.839 Like like it's different the maturity to growth, the direction 108 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.199 of the way I'm rapping. I mean it, it'd be 109 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.839 easy to come on and do a whole bunch of 110 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.600 low riding guns slapping you know, uh, you know torque music. 111 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.639 You know what I'm saying, like like like seventeen bitch pleases, 112 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:37.319 you know what I mean, Like like it would be 113 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.160 easy to go that direction. But but but I think 114 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.120 death is what matters in I believe exactly. It's been 115 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.000 a long time. I mean, you hear it right, right, 116 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.879 there and been a long time right away from the jump, Yeah, right, Well, 117 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.319 when creating a song like been a long time? 118 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.879 Right? How far do you go back into what you're thinking? 119 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:57.480 How far? How far do you go back as far 120 00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:58.439 as lyrics go? Right? 121 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.160 Do you go back to certain things that you felt 122 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.560 a long time ago? How you feeling today? 123 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:04.000 Man? 124 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.519 No, Been a long time? Part two that's on the 125 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.720 key Maker record. It's like when I heard that, because 126 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.720 usually when I write now, I write on the spot. 127 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.360 I write in the studio and I just stand in 128 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.439 front of the microphone and the music takes me where 129 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.680 I need to go. It seems like it becomes more. 130 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.959 It's easier to get the ideas and the energy out 131 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:29.639 that way instead of sitting there and trying to write 132 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.079 a whole verse down. And I never write on my phone. 133 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.360 I will never understand it what I'm trying to say. 134 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.199 I never look at old lyrics. No, I've never written 135 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.680 in my phone, even when I find one thing that's 136 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.519 not on you know, like I type out my lyrics 137 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.240 because there's something about being able to write down on paper, yes, 138 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.199 and the way that it connects to your memory, the 139 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:55.600 way it connects to there's something about it, right, So 140 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.600 I'll maybe write one or two lines to get the 141 00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.360 rhyme started, but then I'll just stand in front of 142 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.160 the mica just continue to build on that. Right, So 143 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.600 what like, for example, to answer your question, been a 144 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.399 Long Time? Part two was just a continuation I've been 145 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.199 a long time off the original with the original was 146 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:14.120 on a Restless album, so you know, Battlecat did that track, 147 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.800 and when I heard the Dim Joints track, it felt 148 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.040 like this is like a continuation of that, and I 149 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:21.920 spent you know, been a long Time Part two. I 150 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:23.759 take some jabs on myself, you know what I'm saying. 151 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.000 They say I look like componmnuts, but I take that 152 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.519 as a compliment. Hot Locks the Oxygen, you know what 153 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.519 I'm saying. Like my rap career has finished, you know 154 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.839 what I'm saying. Like, so I really feel like, you know, 155 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.399 being able to kind of give these subtle lessons about 156 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.959 you know, the way I've done a lot of self 157 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.279 healing and the things that I've done to you know, 158 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:47.399 make myself be ready for this new chapter in life, 159 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.519 be ready for the things that I've already survived, you know, 160 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.360 not really looking backwards, but looking forward, because the best 161 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.040 days are our ahead of us?

So I thought it was really 168 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.560 dope the way he delivered that. And you know, we 169 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.879 have fun on that song.

When let's do 195 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.600 it when like we've built our legacies off of being 196 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:48.080 consistent and having an impactful you know, uh presence, you 197 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.840 know with the music when we drop it, how we 198 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.480 drop it. Howard's received that that that is done with 199 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.519 the formula, right, and so we can't change the formula 200 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.879 just because everybody else is making McDonald's. We we still 201 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:00.919 got to be Morton's around, you know what I'm saying. 202 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:08.600 Yeah, absolutely absolutely for wanting to everyone to hear that verse, 203 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:09.399 because he went. 204 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.919 Yeah, yeah, hell yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's good talking that ship. 205 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:18.080 It's really yeah. Perfect Alibi, Yes, that beats crazy, thank 206 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.919 you man. Yeah. Man. So when you're picking a beat 207 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.799 like perfect Alibi, does it hit you right away? Yeah? 208 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:27.519 I mean you you you, you start making the songs, 209 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.039 and then you realize what's missing, right, And so if 210 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.879 you look at if you look at my other attempts 211 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.720 at songs for women, uh, choked me, me, pulled my hair, uh, 212 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.799 you know, concentrate uh you know. 213 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:44.320 Yeah. 214 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:50.720 I don't have a long history of soft emotional records his. 215 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.639 Life, but but here. But as I'm mature, you know 216 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.919 what I'm saying, as I've grown. 217 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.840 Perfect Alibi is that I'm I mean, that's about its 218 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:05.000 closest to you know, where I am. Now, you know 219 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:10.000 what I'm saying, Like, I've had a lot of you know, experiences, 220 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.200 you know, good, bad, and and different with my personal life, 221 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.200 and I never like kind of like put that out 222 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.679 well I don't, but you know, yeah, others have. But 223 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.840 when they put it out in the media and whatnot, 224 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.679 it says more about you know, them than it does 225 00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.440 about me. And so from there, I've kind of learned 226 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.720 to like be available emotionally, which is hard for me, 227 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.639 you know what I'm saying, because I was raised by 228 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.200 my dad. My dad was a military guy, right, and 229 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.200 so my mother, my mother passed when I was young. 230 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:47.559 So that emotional like heartwarming, you know, yeah, it's not 231 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.360 really me. So I had to learn how to develop 232 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.360 that and and I haven't always been the best, but 233 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.720 you know now I feel like I'm the best version 234 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.120 of that. And I really love the woman I'm with 235 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:00.799 and you know we don't have those issues. And you 236 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.360 know this is that's that's a uh, that is where 237 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.919 that song took me. That's that I wanted to put 238 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.480 that in that mind state into that song. Then what's 239 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.559 then what's her reaction when she hears like, it's not 240 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:14.159 that I don't care about you, but my life will 241 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:14.960 be that song. 242 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:19.639 Not about her, you know that's about all the mother, 243 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.879 but it's still something you believe. 244 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.679 No no, but I mean, I mean I would been 245 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:32.440 a long time part to that line. It has multiple meanings. 246 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.279 So it's like if the song, the verses aren't about 247 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.360 a relationship with a woman, the songs are about my 248 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.440 relationship with hip hop, you know. And there's fair weather fans, 249 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.360 there's people that have come and gone there's people that 250 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.600 have opinions about things. So I think the meaning of 251 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:49.360 that song, the kingmaker message behind that song. It's like, listen, 252 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.799 nobody's gonna not everybody loves us, right, and so it's 253 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:55.679 so you know, even with this age of social media, 254 00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.279 you look at I mean, everybody's guilty of it. You 255 00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.000 you look at a posts that you may and then 256 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.159 you go to the comments and it could be five 257 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.200 hundred one thousand comments to say, man. 258 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:05.720 We love you. 259 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:07.840 Man, you're the greatest, You're the best, and it's just 260 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.320 that one that says you ain't. It's all right, and 261 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:11.840 you want to talk to that guy, you know what 262 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.080 I'm saying, that's the one you focus on. So so really, man, 263 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.799 it's about love who loves you, and you know it's 264 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.440 gonna be alright at the end of the day. 265 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:21.600 For sure, you won't go to see it go back. 266 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:25.080 Yeah, yeah, few. 267 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.759 Decades absolutely absolutely, Man, you're back in lyrical way. 268 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:29.000 Man. 269 00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:29.799 I was so impressed. 270 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.320 I couldn't write down lyrics appreciate it fast enough. 271 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.559 But I got a couple here.

Everybody loves an underdog, 300 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.240 everybody loves a comeback story. But I feel like I 301 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.840 never win, you wear, But I feel like this record 302 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.440 is a great representation of then and now. Yeah, Garcia 303 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:27.360 mentioned Symbol right on American idols like Yo. Like Symbol 304 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:31.240 just tells the truth and says exactly what it is right, 305 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.679 and it may offend you or may make you upset. Hey, 306 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.440 bar in there, Nick Cannon, bar, you know, everyone thinks 307 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.000 he's corny, but he could buy an island if he. 308 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:45.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah, he ain't killed nobody, so everybody, it's crazy. Yeah, 309 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:46.039 that's real. 310 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.200 Ship Like hip hop doesn't necessarily give enough credit to 311 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.559 people like Nick Cannon, I believe and other artists like that. 312 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:55.000 And yeah, yeah is wild'ing out. 313 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:58.240 We all know what ya he's doing, right, but the 314 00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:59.960 way Symbol breaks it down is just different. 315 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:01.679 Yeah, absolutely, I think. 316 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.720 You know, if you hip hop Going back to what 317 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.039 you said, hip hop is the only genre of music 318 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.039 that has agism. And and when I say that, I 319 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.919 mean it's like once you go past early twenties. You're 320 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.480 an old head for some reason, are you? Or you 321 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:27.159 don't belong You're right right, right right, And so I 322 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.080 think that being part of a genre and a culture 323 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.799 that's only fifty years old, fifty plus now we are 324 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.279 the first of our kind of crosses threshold that went 325 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.879 from cassettees CDs into the streaming world. We're from the 326 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:46.120 we're from the last regime change going into a new 327 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:50.399 regime change. And you know, nobody has told the Rolling 328 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:54.440 Stones when to stop touring. Nobody's told you know, uh, 329 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:59.080 you know, rock bands when to stop Paba Paul McCartney. 330 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.000 Only hip hop does that, and and and it's weird 331 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:06.039 to talk about symbols verse because he says, because everybody's 332 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.799 fighting for these five seats, but there's way more seats 333 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:13.119 to success than these five that everybody's fighting over. So, 334 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:15.960 you know, I look at it like this is a 335 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.839 great time for me. Kendrick did a wonderful job reigniting 336 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:23.279 the coast and and and kind of putting a battery 337 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.440 in the and the energy that's out here. I think 338 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.319 it's a great climate to drop this record. I think 339 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:34.400 that especially the partnerships I made with Green Back Records, 340 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:38.920 Connor McGregor shooting over people's heads, not having to fight 341 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.839 the algorithm or go sleepover Kaye Sannott's house. You know 342 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.759 what I'm saying, like to to, you know, to to 343 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:46.880 and shout out kay Sanatt. I think you know what 344 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:48.960 he's doing for his platform and and and the people 345 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:53.240 are great. Everybody has their their platform and everybody's reaching 346 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.720 their audience. I think I need to reach out to 347 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.160 my audience. And then on the way, if people that 348 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.400 love this type of music want to get involved, this 349 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.759 is an experience for you. And you know the people 350 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:09.359 have that have listened to my catalog from the beginning, 351 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.680 do yourself a favor.
